Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced on Tuesday that it has started rolling out the Meta account for Quest VR headsets users, replacing the standard Facebook login. The company had promised in July that these changes would be rolling out in August.
“Our new Meta account structure gives you more flexibility and control, letting you choose how you do and don’t show up—and whether Facebook and/or Instagram is part of your experience in VR and other surfaces where you use your Meta Horizon profile,” says the company.
New users can create a Meta account using an email address, Facebook account, or Instagram account.
When a user first wears their headset, they will get a code to pair the headset with the Oculus mobile app (available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store).
